This is a female snow bunting in breeding colors. She was quite busy collecting bugs and for long stretches of time would have a beakful. She just flew back and i was looking for a perch that would show the golden lichen, which can be seen most often on the volcanic rock in Iceland.

Hi Ann,
This is an excellent capture of the female. She gave you a perfect pose on the perch you were looking for. Love the soft light and all the fine, sharp detail. Golden lichen works well with her colors.

Nice work getting such a sharp, close look at this little bird. Great IQ, and I love the lichen

Cute little gal. I like the feather texture of the raised crest. Yes, the yellows really do add a lot of vibrancy to the image. My eye is drawn to the bright upper left corner - I do wish is was subdued like the rest of the top of the BG.
